This week, I am joined by Bill Prady. You may know some of his work: The Big Bang Theory or Stuart Saves the World and even the Muppets! Bill is a friend from way back. We discuss his recent foray into saxophone playing. I've heard him and he's really good. He didn't start learning the sax until later in life. We discuss his experience with that and all the jazz music that has inspired him including his experience with Betty Buckley and Christian Jacob. And if you're wondering, the reference made is to Ray Brown counting in to Triple Threat when he says "Answer that"!

We also discuss listening to music really getting into and enjoying the sound. I had a great time chatting with him and I think you'll enjoy him too.
